Elia Park
Elia Park by Spectrum Architecture, a 15,590-square-metre public park in the imposing landscape of Kazbegi, Georgia. This project epitomizes the principles of green architecture, balancing environmental sensitivity with recreational and aesthetic value.
Site & Programme
Elia Park occupies a terrain immediately behind the Rooms Hotel - giving it a commanding position in relation to tourist flow and views. Spectrum designs the park as a leisure destination, offering users a variety of facilities such as a children’s playground, a labyrinth, an amphitheatre, leisure areas, and a reflecting point. A restaurant with a terrace and panoramic outlooks crowns the scheme, giving visitors an opportunity to engage with the breathtaking Kazbegi landscape.
The Belvedere: Form, Functionality, and Landmark Status
At the heart of Elia Park rises the Belvedere - a 33-metre-high steel structure that functions both practically and symbolically. It anchors the park’s spatial organisation, serving as its ideological and visual centre. Spectrum ensures full accessibility through two elevators and a gently graded pedestrian ramp, allowing visitors of all mobility levels to ascend to the summit. The façade is clad with metal panels, while the top floor houses an ethnic restaurant with seating for eighty, offering sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.
Green Architecture & Environmental Strategy
Sustainability lies at the core of Elia Park. Spectrum pays particular attention to the harsh climatic conditions of Kazbegi and responds with an integrated strategy. Eco-friendly materials such as specially treated stainless steel, processed wood, natural stone, and concrete have been selected for durability, harmony with the site, and minimal environmental impact. Climate-responsive design from orientation to shading devices and thermal strategies, which reduces energy demand. A pond with natural sediments and an integrated irrigation system optimises water usage, while the layout itself respects existing topography and vegetation, avoiding unnecessary disturbance to the landscape.
Functionality Across Seasons
Despite the region’s challenging climate, Elia Park is conceived to function throughout the year. Its programme adapts seamlessly to seasonal change, ensuring that circulation, comfort, and recreational opportunities remain available in both cold winters and warm summers.
Cultural and Social Value
Elia Park does more than provide recreation; it creates a new cultural landmark in Kazbegi. The Belvedere’s observation platform draws visitors’ gaze outward and upward, integrating the park into the regional identity. Communal spaces, an amphitheatre for performances, gastronomic facilities, and interactive design features such as the labyrinth and reflecting point transform the park into a place of social engagement as well as leisure.
Elia Park stands as a compelling example of how public space can synthesise green architecture, landscape sensitivity, accessibility, and cultural identity. Its Belvedere structure not only serves as a visual anchor but also demonstrates how architecture in challenging climates may be both beautiful and sustainable.
